APT PitchFest Live!

APT PitchFest Live! 2018 will be held at 9:00 a.m on Thursday morning, November 8, 2018 at APT’s Fall Marketplace in Baltimore.

Perhaps you will be one of the three to five finalists who rise to the top of all entries!

You will then vie for the Grand Prize at APT PitchFest Live! during APT’s Fall Marketplace at the Hilton Baltimore before hundreds of public media programmers, managers, producers and marketing teams.

Or maybe you want to attend this year to see how others compete as you dream up your entries for next year’s APT PitchFest 2019!

Fall Marketplace is the annual conference which showcases up to 100 new content offers to the public television stations.

Finalists will competitively present their projects to a panel of seasoned content executives at APT PitchFest Live!, held November 8, 2018. The finalists will be judged on multiple points, including the quality of the proposal, chance of success, innovative aspects, and the execution of their pitch.

The winner will receive the Grand Prize with an award ranging up to $75,000 in production funds, plus assistance in bringing the content to fruition, anticipated distribution access to the U.S. public media market via APT, a free registration to APT Fall Marketplace 2019, and additional production benefits.

The winner of APT PitchFest Live! will be announced November 8, 2018 at the close of the pitch session.
